Caleb Robberson (.440) and Gage Gattis (.395) are also having a big season.

Cole Leavell leads the team with an 8-0 record and a 1.62 ERA.

Booneville

It's hard to pick a dominate player for the Booneville Bearcats. Brandon Ulmer, Brady Brasher, Carson Ray and Hayden Fennell are all having MVP caliber seasons.

Brasher, in particular, added to his huge season Tuesday with a 4-0 shutout of Ozark. He is 6-1 on the mound with 52 strikeouts and a 1.46 earned run average.

Brasher is also having a big year with the stick. On a team loaded with hitters, Brasher is batting .464 with a team-high 35 hits and 29 RBIs.

Brandon Ulmer is hitting .459, and 15 of his 26 hits have gone for extra base hits. He has 10 doubles, four triples and a home run.

In all, the Bearcats have four hitters batting over .400. Red-hot Carson Ray has raised his average to .434 and Hayden Fennell, who was injured while playing second base and is only serving as a designated hitter right now, is batting .409.

Ozark

The Hillbillies have enjoyed plenty of big seasons since former coach Matt Coleman took over. First-year coach Brett Stone picked up where Coleman left off as Ozark bolted out of the gates by winning 11 of 13 games to open the season.

But the Hillbillies are just 4-4 in their last eight games. Yes, three of those losses were to Booneville (20-5) and Greenwood (21-6). However, if Ozark is going to make any post-season waves, they'll need to pick it up heading into next week's district tournament.

The Hillbillies (15-6) head to Dover today and conclude regular season with Charleston and Magazine.

Sophomore Eddie Graham Eddie Graham and senior Keaton Moon suffered their first losses of the season. Graham has just four hits in his last six games, but is still hitting .366 for the season with a team-high 26 hits, six doubles, four triples and 25 runs scored.

Charleston

Freshman Brayden Ross had two more hits in Tuesday's 6-5 win over Paris to take over the team lead in hits with 19 and doubles with seven. Brett Ward, who was also 2-for-3 in the Tigers' win, leads Charleston with a .420 batting average.

Justin Haney, who notched his team-leading fourth win in Tuesday's victory, also drove in two runs with a pair of bases loaded walks.

The Tigers, who are 10-7 in first-year coach Tyler Reese's initial season, trailed Paris (6-14) by three runs after three innings of play.

Senior Jackson Rowland leads Charleston with a team-high 17 RBIs. He and Haney are batting .370 and .364, respectively.

Kaleb Fisher (.288) is second on the team with five doubles.

Mansfield

Garrett Wilson has one of the more intriguing stat lines. He has 23 hits, all singles, and is hitting .469 with eight RBIs and 15 runs scored.

Wilson is hardly the only Mansfield slugger having a big season, though. Hunter Willsey is batting .441 with a team-high 26 hits and 23 runs scored. He's also been hard to beat on the mound, fashioning a 5-2 record with 52 strikeouts.

The Tigers are scheduled to host Subiaco Academy on Friday (weather permitting) and conclude the regular season Monday against Lamar.

Lavaca

The Golden Arrows had their six-game winning streak snapped Tuesday at County Line.

Draven Gill continues to lead the in a number of offensive categories. Gill is batting .431 with a team-high 22 hits, eight doubles and 22 runs scored. For Jacob Sharp, it's all about the number three.

Sharp leads the Golden Arrows with three home runs and 19 RBIs. He's also saved three games.

Senior Janson Graves, who has cooled off recently to .392, has been the team's stopper on the mound, fashioning a 4-2 record with 44 strikeouts in 40 innings.

Tripp Lile is hitting .385 and has struck out just four times in 59 plate appearances.
